"That he, Yulia and DS Bailey have been able to leave us so soon after coming into contact with this nerve agent is thanks to the hard work, skill and professionalism of our clinicians, who provide outstanding care to all our patients, day in and day out."The hospital's Director of Nursing, Lorna Wilkinson, said Skripal will continue his recovery away from the hospital.
